Happy Purim !
Hope everyone is having a good Purim ! Enjoy the pictures! Yossi is a chayal ( and insisted on seeing pictures of Meir as a chayal) , malka is a ladybug ( even though you might mistake her for the devil) and chana is Chana HaMALKA ( no she is not Malka, she is a Malka!) and Yisroel is the Bostoner Red Sox Rebbe ( He does not have a baseball cap though so if anyone has one please FedEx it for 1 hour shipping - Come on Uncle Nat- we know you have one and you have connections in the shipping dept). Enjoy and A Freilichen Purim!

GPS
I finally bought a GPS. Iused it toget to work today and it was sending me on the van wyck probably to get to the LIE but I think to the BQE. I didn't listen after it took me to Park Drive East and hit more traffic that way. It had to recalculate a few times since I decided not to listen to it and went the way I know. Maybe it will help when I get lost in unfamiliar places.

Story about Dad
Got a really nice phone call from Dvora & Mike Kolko on Thursday night. They received our invitation to Miriam’s wedding. To all you second generation bloggers & lurkers out there, Mike & Dvora were my parents good friends from Rochester, NY. Mike & my Dad met in the army in WW2, were in the University of Wisconsin together & were in the Philippines together. They remained close friends throughout the years.
After Dvora spoke & I caught her up with everyone, Mike got on the phone. His hearing isn’t so good anymore but I think he has an amplification device on his phone & was able to hear me mostly.
But he told us a story (I say “us” because I put him on speaker phone so Naomi & Esti could hear him.)
In the early 90’s he went to a reunion of their Army Battalion (381st?) and they were all in a big room. At the end the MC asked that they go around the room and everyone should call out a name of someone who had passed away- either in the war or subsequently. When it got to Mike’s turn he called out “Meyer Samberg”.
The MC then said, “Did someone just say ‘Meyer Samberg’? Let me tell you about Meyer Samberg. When we were in Okinawa & our company was getting bombarded, there was a soldier who had part of his skull blown off. Meyer Samberg crawled thru the crossfire, over dead bodies, picked up the pieces of his skull & brain, put it back together as best he could & bandaged it all up. That soldier is still alive today. He lives in Boston. He’s in a wheelchair but he’s alive.”
